Ingredients
Scale
4 large eggs
2 English muffins, split
4 slices of Canadian bacon
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 cup hollandaise sauce
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the vinegar.
In a separate pan, toast the English muffins and cook the Canadian bacon until heated through.
Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water.
Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the dish by placing a slice of Canadian bacon on each half of the English muffin, topping with a poached egg, and drizzling with hollandaise sauce.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can make your own hollandaise sauce.
Make sure to keep the water at a gentle simmer to avoid breaking the eggs.
Feel free to add spinach or avocado for a twist on the classic recipe.
